Risk Warning: Recently, there have been another attack on Turkish soldiers in northern Iraq, involving all parties and their interests damaged. The following describes the incident in detail, analyzes the potential causes, and the possible negative impacts. For ease of understanding, the text is written in vernacular language as much as possible.
Background: In the early morning of Saturday, 17 February, Iraqi Kurdish forces launched an attack on a Turkish army camp in the Zap area. According to the scene released by the local Kurdish forces, the militants targeted the gap in the middle of the day, successfully cut off the surveillance system of the barracks, and occupied the warehouse while the soldiers were asleep. The result was a surprise attack on the Turkish soldiers who were resting.
Official figures: According to a Kurdish statement, the offensive killed 37 Turkish soldiers, including one captain officer, and captured or destroyed some of the best equipment. Please accept this number as the standard statistical result for this incident. It is understood that Turkish officials have not yet confirmed these ** situations, so we will have to wait for some time to get the exact news.
Aftermath: The attack dealt a fatal blow to Turkey. A total of 37 people were killed and wounded, which is heavy from any point of view. To make matters worse, a considerable part of this blow comes from low morale, which is afraid to cause an uproar in Turkey. Moreover, this incident clearly tells the world that Kurdish forces are enough to invade the interior of Turkey and cause inconvenience to the masses. It can be seen that Turkey's national stability is destined to bear even greater challenges.
Suggested action: Despite the enormous impact, we call on all parties concerned to remain calm and prevent the matter from becoming out of control. It is hoped that the international organization will conduct an investigation at an early date to find out the truth of the matter; It is hoped that Turkey and the Kurds will learn to control their emotions and avoid acting impulsively. Believing that a peaceful solution through the right means, such as political dialogue, is the only hope that this tragedy will not be repeated.
